"I had just gone through a horrible breakup caused by the fact that my girlfriend of four years was cheating on me with a member of my band. Unwilling to break up the band, I continued to play and at a gig on Valentine's Day (in the middle of a set) my bandmate proposed to my ex-RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Needless to say, I threw one of my drums at him and stormed off stage. I haven't played with the band or seen the ex since."
